Mexico, which will play its 17th World Cup, arrives at the debut with some doubts in its squad, and after overcoming criticism and other internal problems.
However, “Tata” Martino is confident that he can debut with a positive result against the Poles.
The Argentine-Mexican striker Rogelio Funes Mori, former River Plate, will play from the start to replace one of the stars of “Tri”, Raúl Alonso Jiménez, who has not fully recovered from his last injury. The Aztec team will also have forward Hirving “Chuky” Lozano, one of its main figures.
For its part, Poland, which will play its tenth World Cup and will have its hopeful debut in its great star Robert Lewandowki, striker for Barcelona in Spain, and in its goalkeeper Tomasz Szczesny, who plays for Juventus in Italy.
The attacker defined his team as “not very offensive” and assured that for this reason “his game” will depend more on the team and not what he is usually known as an “area” striker.
The Poles have managed to form a “balanced” squad between experienced players and younger ones, and they aspire to move on from the group they make up along with Mexico, Argentina and Saudi Arabia.
The last time Mexico and Poland played in a World Cup was in Argentina in 1978 and the result was favorable to the Europeans 3-1.
When will Mexico vs Poland play?
The match will be played from 1:00 p.m. (Argentine time) at the 974 Stadium in Doha with Australian Chris Beath refereeing.
